    Christ is the Door. In Egypt, the blood of the lamb was taken, and the hyssop applied the blood to the door, which made the form of a cross as it went from the doorposts to the lintel and the blood ran down. At Calvary, hyssop was taken, offered to the Door on the cross, He who is the Lamb of God.

In PART 1 we looked at Christ “The DOOR of the Sheep.” We looked at the Shepherd of the sheep. Now we continue looking at the significance of the Door in ...read more

    The Bible gives details about your personal future – what happens both when you die as well as where you are after your death while the world awaits its end. In fact, the Bible teaches that everyone everywhere will spend eternity in one of two places: heaven or hell.

    This is the third sermon in a series of messages on Jesus’ vision of the last days. We are highlighting the Importance of Jesus’ Return during this series. There are 260 chapters in the New Testament, and Christ’s return is mentioned no less than 318 times. Statistically, one verse in twenty-five ...read more

    God invites every person to abandon blame, own today’s choices, and trust His grace to build a brand-new future.

    The Broken Fence One spring morning a man discovered that the white picket fence behind his house had fallen over in the night. His first instinct was to blame last winter’s storms, the neighbor’s leaning tree, even the builder who had put the fence up years earlier. But as he inspected it more ...read more

    Jesus tells us that we should strive to enter by the narrow gate in answer to the question Lord are there few who are saved?

    I would like to focus on one verse today 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. I wonder what counts most in our lives?

    The Moment To Decide

    Every generation has a defining moral question, often between life and death, but always between good and evil. In the nineteenth century, it was for the right to choose ownership of other humans, or against the exploitation of slaves.

    Wednesday of the Thirtieth Week in Course 2024 Today’s Gospel hits the lukewarm Christian right in the gut, if it first has an encounter with his head. Christ’s disciples have asked Him if there will be only a few humans saved. Jesus jumps right to the main point, telling them something more ...read more

    What Does It Mean To "make Every Effort" To Enter The Kingdom? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 10, 2025
     | 78 views

    This passage has two troubling phrases: "make every effort" and "try . . . and not be able." What are we to do with those? And do they mean that God is setting up difficult barriers to get into the Kingdom?

    WHAT DOES "MAKE EVERY EFFORT" MEAN? It doesn’t mean that it’s nearly impossible but that you should focus your attention. - Luke 13:22-24a. - Jesus is asked an important question: “[A]re only a few people going to be saved?” (v. 23). - That's a great question. What is the nature of ...read more

    If we are not identified to be a part of this spiritual Kingdom of God, we cannot enter the physical Kingdom of Heaven when we die. Our self-life is the main enemy of the life of Christ. The Bible calls this ‘flesh’.

    Mathew 11:12 “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force”. We notice through the scriptures, there are phrases like Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven. God says everyone doesn’t get into heaven but only the violent ...read more
